RESOLUTIONS.

Whereas, our beloved fellow teacher and citiiea, Elwood W. Spriggs, answered the call of President McKinley for volunteers and while in camp willing and ready at any moment to go forth to battle in defense of the honor of his native land was suddenly mustered out by the Great General, Therefore, we, the teachers of Keener township, tender this resolution as an expression of our heartfelt sorrow and sympathy to his bereavedfamily, his only child, other relatives and many friends. Resolved, that Elwood W. Spriggs was a most excellent teacher always kind and cour teous to both parents and pupils, beloved and admired by his fellow laborers in the educational field, and in his death we lose one of our most esteemed associates.
